Impact: change the kexec bootstrap code implementation from assembly to C This patch transforms the kexec page tables setup code from assembler code to C code in machine_kexec_prepare. This improves readability and reduces code line number. Signed-off-by: NHuang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: save kernel .text by loosening kexec page alignment This patch removes PAGE_SIZE alignment from relocate_kernel(). Before kexec jump patches are merged, control page is mapped to relocate_kernel in kexec page tables, so relocate_kernel must be PAGE_SIZE aligned. Now, control page is mapped to identity mapped address, so relocate_kernel need not to be PAGE_SIZE aligned any more. This can reduce a few KB from kernel text segement.

Kexec/Kexec-jump require code size in control page is less than PAGE_SIZE/2. This patch add link-time checking for this. ASSERT() of ld link script is used as the link-time checking mechanism.

This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump. It implements the following features: - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after kexec. - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec. The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to call BIOS code under Linux. kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10 Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return: 1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one. 3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode" 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1. 5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode 6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e Implementation point: To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped too. C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between kernel and called code. A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

This patch does clean up relocate_kernel_(32|64).S a bit by getting rid of local PAGE_ALIGNED macro. We should use well-known PAGE_SIZE instead Signed-off-by: NCyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, i386) This patch upgrades the i386-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel. The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd. Signed-off-by: NMagnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
